Do bikes not go on the roof? We manage to fit our 45kg poodle in the back of an estate remarkably well.
Yes they would, but would you drive hundreds of miles (with long 500 mile trips) with a number of multi thousand pound bikes on the roof? We wouldn't dream of it unless going to a relatively local race.
Otherwise you have a significant risk of theft and also some risk of damaging them whisky navigating the motorway network. It's just not worth the risk for longer trips.
MTBs can go on the roof, but the issue is getting them up there both safely and without damaging the care, especially heavy full sus or heavy e-mtb in the future.
LOL since your debate was still going on - refer back to the accident statistics thread - 3 times the chance of going off the road in an x5 versus 5 series
- everyone makes their trade-offs.
Posting headline figures to satisfy your view is quite strange and no better than clickbait Daily Mail headlines.
- What's the ratio of SUV vs the other car, exact same numbers, 50/50 split?
- What data do you have showing the amount of miles covered by every single car from the dataset so you have an accurate view of total mileage covered between every car out there.
- What data is there from each of the cars in said dataset showing the types of journeys they cover over all these miles?
Essentially it's impossible to do the above and gather accurate data that gives meaningful information.
Just meaningless headline figures unless you have any actually viable data. Next you'll post data showing the Audi driver's use their indicators less than BMW drivers
